Excellent. Very nice bit of writing. The story is very sweet and we learn a lot about the characters from such a low word count. A fine contest entry. Good luck.

Good to read one of your entries Bob, you have a different voice then most when detailing your stories.
I found this to go full circle in the 55 word minimum, Well done, its not easy. I know, I've got one in and wrote another one as a regular post yesterday.
Best of luck... John

Mastery I was so hoping to have another one that I follow to post something stunning. I'm stifled from giving six stars to most of my fans so indeed you posted this with great timing. It made for a great read and with so few words you pulled it off for sure.. I wish you all the best in the contest. Thank you ever much for sharing..

Hi Bob. It's good to see something from you. I've missed being able to read a novel from you.

The above is quite little tale. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. JW

Well, Thanks so much, Jonathon. It is good to be back. A novel is my next project, currently in planning stages. A detective thriller. Bob

I'll agree 100% with you. It might take time, patiences and perseverence, but it can be found and what's more it can endure and last a lifetime. I've seen it. :)

Good to see you writing!

Good character development with just a hint of back story of Brad's checkered dating past.
You do a great job of developing their relationship with a minimum of words, and I love the resolution :-) Brooke

Comment from Larissa B

Excellent

This is very apt for the much anticipated season of spring, Bob. Nice to see a post from you once again. I just have a silly question. Why is it only Brad said "I do"? LOL!
***They said 'I do'*** will still give you the same word count. Or maybe you had something else intended that I completely missed.
Best of luck on this contest!;)

Hi, Larissa...Thanks so much for your fine review. I did it that way, because Brad was a "confirmed bachelor" and it was to show the distinction somewhat in his giving in to love and marriage. Does that make sense? If not, I can change it to they. Let me know please. Bob

reply by Larissa B on 19-Mar-2013

Yes, perhaps it does, Bob. You always have that choice as the writer... if your reader is keen, they will know you have a reason for using the words you used. Just me being dense and wanting to clarify. LOL! Thanks for indulging me with an answer.

I appreciate your help and question, believe me, Larissa. (Love the name by the way) :) Bob

Nicely done, Bob, and another fine entry for the 55-word contest. I think you've made it official--everyone is now entered. I'm glad I'm not on the Committee. This will be tough.

I like your Spring/Fall romance. Should Spring be capitalized?

Best of luck, Bob.

Peace, Lee

Hi, Lee. Have you got a horse in this race? I have yet to read it...Will have to though. You are right...the seasons should be capped. Thanks a lot... Bob
